Hourigan Beef decision on Monday

Michael Hourigan will make a decision on Beef Or Salmon's participation at Aintree on Monday.

Hourigan's Cheltenham Gold Cup disappointment heads 17 entries - eight of which competed in the blue riband at Presbury Park last month - for the Grade Two Betfair Bowl on the first day of the three-day meeting on Thursday.

The Limerick handler also has Hi Cloy entered in the same race, however, and will make a decision tomorrow.

He told the Racing Post: "Beef Or Salmon worked well yesterday morning so it's possible he will travel. We'll decide on Monday if either Beef Or Salmon or Hi Cloy lines up."
